The agreement supports building the capacity of NHOs towards historic preservation and stewardship with the goal of ensuring that their traditional cultural stories and places are being documented, preserved and shared in an appropriate manner with visitors and residents alike.

The five-year program is the result of a partnership with the U.S. Department of the Interior’s National Park Service and Office of Native Hawaiian Relations, with funding through the Bureau of Indian Affairs. In September 2021, NPS added $450,000 to HHF’s on-going project for Historic Preservation Training in the Hawaiian Islands.

The additional funds were provided through the Native American Tourism & Improving Visitor Experience (NATIVE) Act that was passed by Congress in 2016 to establish a more inclusive national travel and tourism strategy with the potential to deliver significant benefits for Native Hawaiians, including jobs creation, elevated living standards and expanded economic opportunities.

The training units will be implemented in partnership with the Native Hawaiian Organizations (NHO) for preservation of the selected cultural sites. Field work at their respective historic sites to preserve and restore places that are significant to the culture, traditions, and practices of the Native Hawaiian Community will be included.

The selection process began in 2021 with initial program scoping and a development phase to establish NHO solicitation parameters, evaluation criteria, and regulatory compliance requirements. The first NHO solicitation, review and selection of the first three projects took place in 2022. The second solicitation was issued in 2024 and three additional projects were selected .

In July 2025, Historic Hawai‘i Foundation announced the selection of its third cohort, two NHO Partners , completing their projects in May 2026. Listen (3:11) In the news… Hawaii Public Radio’s Culture & Arts Reporter, Jayna Omaye, talks to NHO program stewards.
